Re: Where Do you buy Ram Air hoods?
I'm guessing from Hawks on ebay. Usually a little bit cheaper than buying from Hawks website even though you would be buying from the same person.

Re: Where Do you buy Ram Air hoods?
Im loooking into hoods has well,hawks IS not cheaper. duraflex has the RAM AIR 2 for sale @ 399.99 hawks is@ 510.00 plus shipping on both.
And each place you buy from has differnt stipulations,finished or un finished,and how much will a professional shop charge?

I won a R/A I from Rex Orr (American Sports Car Design) when when he used to do the hood raffles. ASCD was a sponsor at one time. Nice hood too.

Re: Where Do you buy Ram Air hoods?
That's abit high for that hood work. To prep, paint and clear should be no more than $325 unless the color is a candy or pearl. Labor should be about 2.5 hours and materials about $125.

Yea,thats a worse case scenario,depending on how rough it is.on the other hand if its prepped and ready to paint,and the holes dont need cut out,then yea he said around 399.99 maybe he is high,to much time in the booth.

Yes, yes I was. It was the last time he did a drawing if I remember.
